Urban Hotel with Stunning Views

Santarena Hotel evokes the comfort of modern urban hotels with the relaxed ambiance of a beach setting. Everything from the crisp linear designs to the sustainable wooden floors and the rooftop infinity pool inspires peace and freedom.
Bright and fresh breezes enter through the windows into the well-appointed rooms. Their wide bathrooms and locally sourced amenities offer the perfect space to sit back and enjoy a quiet morning. Room service is available when you don’t want to leave.
The ocean-facing balcony is also styled for enjoyment. The handmade pressed tiles are proof of the attention to detail on this property. Sip your morning coffee in the privacy of this space before starting the day, and finish it by watching the fiery sunset from a convenient chair.
One of the best features of this Las Catalinas hotel is its seamless blend between the inside and outside. The architecture is designed to step out easily to experience the sun, animals, and the town itself. However, it also lets you admire the views from the inside without more than lifting your gaze.
The rooftop lounge is a perfect example of this. It’s right next to the 377-square-feet infinity pool, ideal for those who want to take a dip with gorgeous views of the horizon. The lounge is a first-class seat for the sunsets of the Pacific.
